Heavenly Father's Favorite Numbers - Which Ones, and Why?

Math must be really important to heavenly Father, because he has his own favorite numbers! In this class, we will be discussing a new and amazing approach to learning how math can be applied to scripture, and how to teach the significance of numbering systems in relation to religion and the Gospel. Students need to know that when they are learning math, they are simply becoming more like their heavenly Father, for he organized the whole universe using numbers! We will also discuss how math validates Joseph Smith's statement by teaching students how to develop the talent of "governing themselves by using correct principles." For many home schoolers, Mathematics is their greatest challenge. You will not want to miss this class.

Julianne Kimber, wife of Glenn J. Kimber and daughter of W. Cleon Skousen, has been involved in God-centered education for over 25 years. She and her husband have created a curriculum for home school families that is designed to build testimonies of God, Family, and Country for every age student. Dr. and Mrs. Kimber have written over 100 books and manuals on every core subject, for each age group. This curriculum has been used in thousands of homes as well as for their private schools, called Kimber Academy as well as the Benjamin Franklin Academy, which they founded in the early 1990s. A mother of 8 and grandmother of 31, Mrs. Kimber says, "I wish we had had our curriculum when we were home schooling OUR children! It works."

Learn by Faith & Patterns

There are two things we get to take with us back to heaven, our relationships and what we learn. What kind of knowledge are you taking back to heaven? This presentation is not about your relationship, why you should learn or what you are going to become (though I’d love to talk to you about all that too). This presentation is the nuts and bolts of learning how to learn by faith. You will receive patterns you can use for all your learning. You will learn the importance of being clean before you can learn. How to get in the mood to learn. What principle of the gospel are you currently struggling with?

Building Foundation with Symbolic Hebrew

Not only does Hebrew lead symbolism in it’s essence, with its illustration of principles through numbers, shapes, chords, pictographs, stories, etc. it also illustrates Christ-centered Principles and tells the story of The House of Israel. Come hear our story as Katie introduces you to the difference between Greek and Hebrew in terms of symbols. Then, experience making connections for yourself as you will be immersed in learning Symbolic Hebrew. Don’t forget your scriptures!

Sharee Jones

Learning Photography and a Perfect Brightness of Hope

The basics of Photography can be hard to understand until you bring some of these elements and liken them to revelation. 2 Nephi 31:20 talks about a perfect brightness of hope. Explore with me as I teach the concept of Photography and what it means to receive understanding into our hearts through this wonderful object lesson. Then take these idea's and teach them to your family and friends! Object lesson's/parables/symbology (however you look at it) can become your greatest "remembering tool" to teach a multitude of lesson's and depth.

I graduated from Utah State University with a bachelor’s in Fine Art/Photography and a minor in French. This is where I found a love of the wet darkroom process as well as many alternative and 19th century styles of printing and making art.I served a full time mission to Southern France. I am grateful for the opportunity to be re-married to a wonderful cowboy who balances me and beautiful children who teach me every day. They are my greatest accomplishment! Homeschooling with Christ Centered Learning and witnessing my children understand truth has been an amazing experience. Equally enjoyable has been my own pursuit of seeking for truth through scripture study. I believe we can find answers (revelation) to any question through a combination of proper study of the scriptures, modern day prophet's teachings, prayer, service and recording. I love to share my search for knowledge and truth and testimony of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ and I want to ignite that same passion in parents as they seek; provide knowledge (truth), from the mind and then teach parents how to; invite the Holy Ghost into their lives so that understanding (revelation) blazes in the heart's of their children.

Let Thy Confidence Wax Strong

Our Heavenly Father has a plan for each one of us—and a plan for each one of our children. As parents, it is our privilege to guide them as they discover who they are and what God wants them to become. When we align our will with God’s and we place our trust in the potential of our children, we can tailor an education that nurtures the unique, divine spirit of each child so that it shines brilliantly! But to do this, we must learn how to tune out the voices of fear and comparison that can plague a homeschool parent’s mind. Join me as we find a place where you can stand confidently and say to yourself and the world “I am doing the best for MY child each day so they can be what God wants them to be.”

How Media Changes Our Perceptions: Economic Lessons For Children

​The influence of media has become a cultural driving force in today's society. The only problem is that it has little to no respect for what you believe or what you want to teach your children. This presentation is meant to help inform parents of the very real detrimental effects of media, whether it is through video games, youtube, facebook, movies, netflix or plain old television. It also will help give parents tools so that they can discuss with their children how they can view entertainment and how often they should view entertainment ( interactive or otherwise ) as well as some alternative sources for entertainment Economic Lessons for Children - Understanding how the economy works is vital to making important choices in life. This is a presentation that goes over some of the important lessons that are vital to children understanding how government and society influence the economy. It has simple methods for helping children understand how they can be a part of 'the economy' and what it means to provide goods and services for others at a price.

​Bio: Forrest Baker is an author, computer programmer, and inventor. He has five children and has been involved in the creation and distribution of media and media content for almost three decades. His second children's book is currently nearing completion and will teach about inflation, government overspending, and that in a world of infinite wants and limited resources the only way to create a budget is to use the word 'no'.

Blake & Jenny​ Baker

Defending Truth Without Contention

Everyone in this world has their own definition of truth that guides their philosophies and actions. How do we seek, recognize and stand for truth without being contentious? This presentation will give simple steps to seek and recognize truth as well as techniques to help us become the peacemakers the Savior asked us to be while standing for truth and righteousness.

The Doctrine of the Family has always been a guiding light in the lives of Blake and Jenny Baker, but it wasn't until recently that they have had the time and opportunity to do defend these eternal truths. Jenny and Blake are two of the founding members of Gathering Families. They recently helped head up the Family Lights the World event for the World Congress of Families where they worked with families around the world to shine a light on the Family!

Embracing Homeschool with Special Needs

Homeschooling children with special needs comes with special challenges. Behavioral outbursts, disruptions to routines, curriculum struggles, therapies, along with normal family life can make it seem impossible and chaotic. We often wonder "Am I doing this right?" "Is my child learning what they need to know?" "What should I be doing different?" And sometimes we just want help as we battle mental and physical exhaustion. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the source of all the answers we are seeking. We can find these answers, bring them into our homes, and share them with our children. It is through the gospel that our homeschool life can flourish, that our children with special needs can thrive along with our typical children, that the parents can be replenished and strong, and that as a family we can stand united with the Lord.

I, Amy Cox, am a wife of 14.5 years and a mother of 12 years. I have 3 children, one with an autism spectrum disorder. He was officially diagnosed at age 4. I am a homeschooler, a writer, a thinker, a jogger (NOT a runner), a poet, a movie-watcher, a reader, a dog-lover, a student, a blogger, a believer, a pianist, a friend, a sister, a daughter, a little anal retentive, a lover of good food, and many more things.

Becky Doughty

​He Did Deliver Me From Bondage

​For many years as a wife and mother, I felt out of control of my emotions. I had put myself into spiritual and emotional bondage and didn't know how to become free.Then I discovered an amazing book written by an LDS mother. Colleen Harrison has taken the 12 Principles from the Alcoholics Anonymous program, and combined them with Book of Mormon scriptures. She has created a powerful, life-changing program for those dealing with addictions of any kind, as well as any bad habits that anyone wanted to break. This book, along with an accompanying workbook, put out by the LDS church, had an incredible effect on inspiring me to change for the better. I have always wanted to share these principles that have so helped to deliver me from bondage. As I prayerfully considered this LDS conference,I felt that this might be the perfect venue to share what has truly changed my life.

Bio: My name is Becky Doughty. I am a homeschool mother of 5. We have been homeschooling for 10 years, but I still feel like I'm learning new things all the time to help me be a better mother and example for my children. I also have a wonderful husband, Steve, who is a naturopathic physician. He is the wind beneath my wings. I am especially grateful to have learned about Thomas Jefferson Education. It doesn't define my religion, but it has helped me live my LDS religion better. When I'm not helping my children and husband with their projects, I like to work on projects that will strengthen my home, church, and community. I also love to read, swim, and take walks with my family. I am excited to have this opportunity to do a presentation on a classic which has been life-changing for me.

Becoming A Powerful Math Mentor: Empowering Your Students To Think, Reason, And Problem Solve For Themselves!

Is your math just making calculators out of your kids? If so, why are they memorizing math rules and procedures or even studying math at all if they have an actual calculator that can do everything their being taught? The hard truth is, we don’t need human calculators any more, we need self-reliant, powerful thinkers. Think about it, no one sat down with Isaac Newton and told him: “here are the 3 steps to do calculus.” He had to observe patterns. He struggled. He hypothesized. He experimented. He failed. And then, he discovered calculus. Your kids can do this too. They can become self-reliant thinkers through what I call the Discovery Method. Families across the world have are thriving in this new approach to math. For them, math has become an engaging and powerful part of their homeschooling. They’ve learned to unlock the potential that mathematics has to teach their children how to think and reason and become self-reliant problem solvers. So if you think to yourself: I am worried that my kids are behind in math. I’m not sure I know math, so how am I supposed to teach it? I am sick of sending my kids off with workbooks. I wish my kids didn’t dread doing math. I wish I didn’t dread math time. My kids are doing the work, but are they really learning math? Then this presentation is for you. Come learn how you can do this in your home, no matter what curriculum you are using. It’s time to create the math program you really want.

Nichole Isom

Second Languages in LDS Homes of Faith

​"Every knee shall bow and tongue confess that Jesus is the Christ." Why learn second languages as a family? Why does the church encourage foreign language education? What benefits come to children that can speak a second language? When and how can parents effectively teach a second language in the home? How can the Spirit influence the learning and teaching process of a foreign language as a family and each individual member? What blessings have been promised to the Saints with the gift of tongues?

The day that I stepped off the airplane just hours after being prepared to teach in English from the MTC, I saw the disappointment on my new mission President's face as he realized that I was not the signing sister missionary that the Jacksonville, FL Mission had prayed 10 years previous for. St. Augustine FL, hosted one of the largest U.S. Deaf and Blind schools at that time in our nation. Harboring near to the school were the many deaf families of deaf students receiving it's educational services. I quickly saw that I was the one that could not hear what the deaf had to say. I learned then the powerful influence that the Spirit can have to edify the learning and teaching in a foreign language. Since my unique mission in American Sign Language, I have gained a testimony of second languages being taught in LDS homes. After my return home, I studied more about the Deaf language and culture and thus taught ASL for 11 years most commonly to small children or in family groups. Growing up my family hosted and fostered 8 children of Navaho, Paiute, Japanese, Dutch, or Thai descent in our home, each bringing their native tongue and traditions that enriched our families relationship with God's children around the world. I married a man that was passionate about the Spanish language and upon his college graduation moved to Mexico to study the language and it's people there. Currently my 7 year old son participates in a Chinese dual-immersion school program and we are grateful to be the host parents of a young Chinese HHS exchange student to encourage our son's Chinese language development. I hold a Ricks College Associates of Science in Speech Pathology/Audiology degree, a BYU-UT Bachelors of Marriage and Family Life degree, and I am a licensed instructor for the award winning and emmy-nominated Signing Time Program for children. Li'l Einsteins Montessori Preschool in Hurricane is my current business where I spend my days now teaching American Sign Language to children. In addition, I offer numerous summer ASL workshops and Rachel Coleman's ASL Signing Time program products throughout St. George and the Hurricane areas.

Teaching a Love for America to our Children in these Troubled Times

How can we keep our children from being down on America during these troubled times? As parents, we may often complain about the government, taxes, candidates for president, legislators, and the current state of the nation being "near ruin." Our children pick up on this, and may diminish their hopes for a bright future. It is so important to keep our American Heritage alive, and this class will give parents and youth alike some solid ideas on how to stay positive, despite the political upheavals around us. Does America fall? Prophesy says NO. Come and learn how to keep your love for our beloved America alive!

Thom & Tresta Neil

Building a Royal Army within your Home

​

While working in a nursing home with several “cute” couples holding hands, Thom and Tresta were inspired to create a future together. Thom is from New Hampshire and served a LDS mission in Italy. Tresta is from New Mexico and served in the Netherlands while Thom waited for her. They don’t subscribe to the television adage, “Eight is Enough” with their many birthed, married and borrowed children. Thom was the first to bring up the idea of homeschooling, Tresta thought he was mad! Twenty-two years later they are still successfully homeschooling through births and deaths, liver transplantation, addiction recoveries, conferences and family run businesses. Together, as owners of Keystone Connections and the directors of several homeschool conferences, they are nationally sought after authors and presenters. Their uniqueness is seen in the stories of Thom delivering half a dozen sets of twins as a teenager, Tresta sitting on a cactus and their first kiss over the alter.

Bronwen Oehlschlager

"Mom, How Do I DO Faith?"

"Mom, How Do I DO Faith?" is designed to encourage and inspire parents in teaching their children the simplicity of the process of DOING faith. We will explore the science behind the faith process and open our eyes to the possibilities we may not have thought of before as amazing, divine, children of God. Everything comes back to confidence that understanding walking by faith engenders. How our children feel about their divine nature directly effects their studies and determination to take learning anything, academic or otherwise, to the next level and find their personal genius, thence fulfilling their personal mission for God on this Earth. Let's explore the science of faith together and help these MIGHTY latter-day spirits get a head start on learning just how powerful ARE child gods on their way to exaltation.

I'm an all American, homeschooling mom of 4 with a fabulous husband of 17+ years. My passion is studying the ins and outs of faith, figuring out how it works, and teaching it to kiddos! I love life! My favorite pass-times include reading, singing, writing, talking to anyone who will listen to me rattle on about how amazing faith is, and (of course!) hanging out with my fun and wonderful family.
